Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Lead Clip is designed for serious carp anglers who require a safe and reliable lead-ejection system when fishing in snaggy or weed-filled waters. Its primary benefit is the combination of a secure swivel lock and a springy arm that guarantees the lead will discharge if it becomes trapped, protecting your catch and terminal tackle. A minor caveat is that these clips are specifically optimized for use with Trakker tail rubbers, so ensuring compatibility with your existing terminal setup is necessary for optimal performance.

FAQs
What size swivels are compatible with these clips?
These clips are specifically designed to be used with size 8 swivels.
Do I need to use Trakker tail rubbers?
While other rubbers may fit, Trakker tail rubbers are specifically engineered to work with these clips for the most reliable ejection pressure.
How many units come in a pack?
Each packet contains 10 individual lead clips.
Can I reuse these clips?
Yes, they are reusable, provided the springy arm has not been damaged or weakened during a previous lead ejection.
Are they effective in clear water?
Yes, the camouflage finish is specifically designed to blend into the lakebed, making them ideal for clear water applications.
Troubleshooting
Lead ejects too easily during casting
Ensure the tail rubber is pushed firmly onto the clip and verify that the clip itself is not damaged or cracked.
Swivel does not sit securely in the clip
Confirm that you are using a standard size 8 swivel and that the T-pin is pushed completely through the eye.
Lead fails to eject when snagged
Check if the tail rubber has been pushed on too tightly; adjust the depth of the tail rubber to decrease the release tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your terminal tackle, first thread your main line through the lead clip, then tie your rig to a size 8 swivel. Insert the swivel into the clip and secure it with the provided T-pin. Slide the Trakker tail rubber over the end of the clip to lock the system. For maintenance, check the condition of the springy arm after heavy sessions, especially if you have ejected multiple leads, as debris can sometimes affect the tension. Ensure the clip is free from grit before re-attaching a new lead to maintain the integrity of the plastic components.
